Mars holds a significant place in Vedic astrology, as it is known to be a fierce planet that can bring forth sudden changes in one's life. When placed in the 2nd house for lagna Leo, Mars is said to be in an enemy sign state. In this placement, Mars is the lord of the 4th and 9th houses and thereby takes care of its own houses. Additionally, Mars is also the natural karaka of the 3rd and 6th houses and would also take care of its karaka houses.
